Can somebody please walk me through the flasing process on MSI's 'Overclockers BIOS' "AWARD(R) V1.0B16 Special BIOS"...filename 'wk7tpro2av10b16'


I boot up into DOS using a WindowsME boot-floppy, then insert another floppy with the 2 etracted files from the BIOS program. So I have 2 files on the disk: AWFL789.exe W6330VSP.10g

I have tried entering this string 'awfl789 w6630vsp.10g /nbl' from a:, but I can't get the program to flash...The flash program launches and shows the flash screen with the bios flash progress bar. The program accesses a:, but doesn't flash the bios...the computer just freezes up. When I reboot all is fine, but the bios wasn't flashed/updated.


Can somebody please help me out with detailed intructions and what I should expect to see along the way? Thank you!

In DOS, change the prompt to a:. Then type in awfl789.exe. In the flashing program, type a:\W6330VSP.10g as the location of the program. If it still freezes up, don't try the overclocker's BIOS.

I don't think your command is correct. Have you checked:

Award Bios Flash Instructions

According to this your command should be:
A:\awfl789 w6630vsp.10g /py /sn /cc /r /ld /nbl

Anyway:
type: awf1789 /? to find out the proper perameters.


Of course you should be taking the proper precautions before you flash such as:

-Setting you computer to the default speed and voltage.
-Turning off all you cache including CPU and video.
-Not loading anything in autoexec.bat and config.sys
